HARPTREE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HARPTREE sales from September 1998 and December 2012 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 1998 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
